1t is often said that there is no law
why man "should not marry his
Grandmother and it Is probably true.
However, a case has just came to
light at Tenafiy New Jersey which
shows that the craze for antiquities
has taken deep hold on the hearts of
the people. A young man, an artist,
handsome wealthy and accomplished
has just married an old maid aged
fifty, with neither good looks or
money and it is said to be a case of
true love. There is no reason so far
as is known why such a marriage
should not take place, but most old
maids would hesitate before taking a
boy like that to raise.

THE MILITIA BILL.

There are times when folly's tolls
beset the wisest, and times again
when Its insidious inroads become
epidemic. However the present
Legislators may excuse themselves for
their action upon the bills for sub
mission forced before them through
the clamOr of the people; however,
they may account for some of the ap.
propriations made and others unmade;
however, they may explain their
course in regard to railroad
Legislation and on the school question,
it is hard to see how they expect tC
escape the results of their deliberate
refusal to follow a prescribed course
in regard to the state militia police
policy which the experience of
almost every sister state has
proven to be the course of
wisdom and safety In setting aside
the militia bill they certainly have
not met the wishes of the people OF
the state. but they have prepared the
way to make Missouri the laughing
stock Of the nation. In the history
of the past no state has borne a
prouder record for mi itary proves
and efficiency than has Missouri. On
every battlefield, since Missouri be.
came the home of the white race.
from far away Mexico to the At
tic limits, Missouri blood has conse.
Grated the soil. Missouri troops have
won encomiums as the peers of the
mightiest. 1t certainly is not wise to
crush out all the ardor and spirit, in
this direction, in the sons of such SOL
diers. The time may come at any mo
mentwhen this ardor and spirit will be
needed, by the state, by the nation,
at home or abroad. The militia bill
is again to come up, and it is to be
hoped that men of such statesmanlike
ability as the present legislature, will
reconsider their mistake and give q
liberal appropriation to so useful and
worthy an adjunct of peace, prosper.
ity and honor. Unless thay do, the
time is near at hand when, like Ban.
quo's ghost, their folly will haunt
them increasingly.
